Have you tried turning them off and then on again?

Turning them off is the easy part...

In the polyamorous community, jealousy is still a thing that exists. The main method of tackling this has always been communication, expressing to each other how things make you feel and try to find a solution to overcome that.
Mind you you also have to be willing to change things you might be doing in order for this system to work, because otherwise you are asking your partners something you yourself are not willing to do. Multiple people can't function in a relationship if only a few of them are doing all the work. Not in a healthy one at least.
But yeah, just talk with them. It brings you closer, it makes you feel safer, it shows each other trust, and it can easily fix issues you might be going through. My partner and I have been going through a lot of mental health stuff lately and every time we fight it turns into a conversation trying to understand why the fight happened, which often turns into a lot of introspection and healing over past trauma. We used to think fights destroy relationships but we changed how we fight and now it's more like charged healing and bonding.

How about not. I will instead bottle unhappiness inside until it comes out in 20 years.

While super obvious, it’s way easier said than done. I feel like there’s some things that are really hard to talk to an SO about. But honestly what do I know lol

My biggest problem with my SO is her absolute refusal to exist. Any idea how I should broach that conversation?
OK, seriously though, all joking aside, this is very good advice.
